Since you seem to want as pure a black as possible, the purest-looking jet black I have seen is what Cadillac and Lincoln paint their limos and hearses. A Caddy or Lincoln dealership can give you the factory paint codes. Any good body shop ( and I'm assuming you trust this place) should be able to mix their paint pigments to original factory specs.

I agree with Mmarshall on the point to just letting your paint guy know what you're after... I would go a step further and rather than to say "I want Bentley black or Lincoln or whatever" I would simply tell them what you are after and then have them show you the actual paint they are going to use before they shoot your car... My paint guy lightly shot my front fender on a previous car, just to show me what to expect... If they are a professional shop who cares about customer satisfaction, I don't see them having a problem with that...
The thing to remember is you get what YOU like... Not what everyone votes for in some crazy poll... We all have different opinions of what looks good... Also, it doesn't matter what color name you ask for, it all has to do with the guy mixing the paint... A poorly mixed batch of Bentley Black will not look like the paint from the factory... So think of it this way, from the guy preping your car, mixing the paint, the guy laying down the paint, and the guy rubbing it out, they all need to be good or your results will be less than desireable...
Good luck, bro...

No, do what we tell you to do. I agree with mmarshall - Cadillac limo black.

I voted for ferrari
and have seen them in person (all three cars), I can go and see new ones in 10 minutes (respective dealers are right near me)
I like the ferrari blue more though hehe but not on a first gen, just doesn't go right.
